Kakadu National Park

Kakadu is the Northern Territory's largest National Park, and until recently held the title of the largest in Australia. It's got something for everyone - wetlands, escarpments, waterfalls, gorges, ancient rock art and an abundance of wildlife.

What's Inside:

Best season, access and how long to allow
Permits, fees and where to book
Fuel, supplies and mobile signal
Camps, and what to carry before you go

It's a planning guide, not navigation. The map is schematic, so don't drive off it. If you want the exact route we drove, that's the GPX pack.
